Herm, a small island east of Guernsey Screenshots made at flightlevel 1.000 meters over ground.

to the first 40 or so that downloaded it, i apologize i had mistakenly left an older lod in the folder for uploading that misplaces one of the engines. the correct lod is now uploaded. those that downloaded already can get the correct lod here C-141A.7z once again, i apologize for the mistake

As if the job was'nt hard enough......

View File A4D-2 (TW A-4B & Nyghtfall's A-4E pit) 'Rework' "My rendition of the A4D-2 (Before 1962 change to A-4B & C)" INSTALL – unpack/unzip file contents and drag/copy to main YAP Revamp Works (Whatever you have named it) folder. THANKS TO: * Nyghtfall and Wrench for their help in working/moving cockpit items techniques. *Repaint of Nyghtfall's outstanding A-4E pit. *TW A-4B stock jet - required for AR probe. *Repaint/numbering of A-4A fuselage, Nose, tail numbers from ChampionsVA56 suhsjake. *J65-W-5.wav engine sound from ChampionsVA56. ** Included is a A-4A_DATA – SAM_Lgt_Active.ini file which activates SAM threat warning equipment if desired. Don't think this mod was worked in until later A-4 models. *** Had problems getting the program to load different BuNo, TN, Modex, etc. Sometimes none at all? Had to select in the loading phase of a mission each acft individually – then they would show? If anyone can help regarding this tail no issue please help.

"If SAMs were launched at a Wild Weasel, it was the backseater’s job to track them on a tiny, two-square-inch cathode-ray tube and call out maneuvering measures to the pilot. The usual SAM-avoidance maneuver was to wait until the missile was danger close—about a mile—and then perform a 4G pitchout that broke its radar lock". https://www.historynet.com/why-pilots-loved-the-f-105-thud-despite-its-vulnerability.htm Having used this maneuver in-game WITH an F-105, my personal name for it is the "This Sh*t Better Work" move.

The tactic lead to a modified guidance mode being added to the SA-2 in order to prevent such an evasion.

Eye Candy or not, it's a beauty. So many years ago, this model introduced a wide-eyed country kid (masquerading as an adult) to places in the world that he'd only read about in books. Like so many people, I was saddened to see them retired. But at least here, she lives and flies again. Thank You.

Hello fellow FE2-ers, Just a quick note for those running FE2 on Intel-based Macs (either in a WINE program or directly in Win7, 8.1, 10, etc. in Bootcamp) -- that you might find the info. in the following post (regarding WOFF/WOTR and the latest M1, ARM-based Macs) helpful. In short, for now - recommended is to keep flying FE2 only on Intel-based Macs, in versions of Windows no later than Win10. No guarantees at this point that Win11 can be effectively "shoehorned" onto Intel-Mac hardware, nor any guarantees as to how well FE2 may run in Win11, if at all. Furthermore, the latest ARM-based Macs only support ARM-based vers. (not the x64 branch) of Win11, and only via virtualization (no direct bare-metal Win11/ARM installs available for latest Macs so far -- the point is ultimately an irrelevant one I suppose since FE2 will never be "translated" to run as an ARM-based application anyway -- and I doubt that it would run stably using the x86/x64 virtualization layer that is found inside ARM-based Win11 installs anyway). Happy flying all, Von S

I saw this (Warthunder Hun, YT vid, I don't have it myself to dig onto it): And i liked it, so I made this: But I'm wondering if it was like that in real life, the only other gunsight i could see seemed from the stubby tail early As and it looked just like the F-86s, while this one looks closer to WW2 sights, but I found them to be pretty useful.
